Patented July 14, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SAMUEL M. DAVIS ANDHARRY F. DAVIS, OF BELLWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA WINDOW BLIND AND CURTAINFIXTURE Application filed July 24,

This invention relates to window blind and curtain fixtures and has forits primary object an improved device for the support of the Windowblind and roller and improved means for attaching and detaching thecurtain supporting devices.

Another object of this device is to provide a permanent window facingbracket to which the blind roller brackets and the cur- 1e tainsupporting devices are attached, and a further object of the presentinvention is to provide combined integral blind roller and curtainsupports, such supports having definite and fixed means for attachingand detaching the curtain supporting devices.

A still further object of this invention is to provide means forslidably mounting curtain and blind holding fixtures such that the blindand curtains can be readily moved toward or away from the window casing.With these and many other objects in View, which will be more readilyapparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the sameconsists in the novel combination construction and arrangement of partsas will be hereinafter fully pointed out, illustrated and claimed.

It will be quite readily understood by those skilled in the art to whichthis invention belongs that the same is susceptible of various changesand modifications without departing from the spirit or scope of theinvention, but a preferred and practical embodiment thereof is'shown inthe accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the blindroller and curtain supports, this assembly being likewise shown for asingle window.

Fig. 2 shows side and plan views of one 40 of the combined blind andcurtain fixtures supports shown in the assembly view in Fig.

1 of the drawings.

Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts in the drawings.

In carrying out the present invention I provide a primary supportdesignated by the numeral 10 which may be attached to the window facingthrough the medium of screws, nails, or other fastenings. This primarysupport 10 is provided with a plu 1929. Serial No. 380,672.

rality of slots 11, and as will be observed from Figure 1 is adapted todetachably carry a U-shaped bracket which in turn supports the blindroller 17 and the curtain supports 13, said U-shaped bracket beingdesignated generally by the numeral 22. The blind roller 17 is supportedin the downwardly slotted oifset arm 28 of the bracket.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that the present constructionincludes the primary supporting or attaching member 10 adapted to besecured to the center frame, the sairie including a portion of narrowwidth and relatively great height disposed in spaced relation to thecenter frame, and provided with a pair of laterally spaced verticalslots which receive the correspondingly slotted arm portions of theU-shaped bracket member 22. The U-shaped form of the bracket 22 has theadvantage of being braced against lateral tilting, or twisting and thusavoids the necessity of employing any auxiliary means for this purpose.

Without further description it is thought that the features andadvantages of the invention will be readily apparent.

We claim 1- A combined shade roller and curtain rod support comprising aU-shaped sheet metal bracket inclusive of a pair of spaced arms, meansfor detachably mounting said bracket on a window frame, and a shaderoller supporting formation and a curtain rod supporting formation onsaid arms, respectively, said shade-roller-supporting formationcomprising a member integral with its related arm extending downwardlytherefrom and bent first laterally from said arm and then forwardly tolie in a plane parallel to said arm below the latter.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
